An epic tale indeed.* Francesco seems like a sound enough fella for the little we know about him. He died ould enough with the family fussing over him and the grand nephews lining up too. We’d all take that… And you had me at negroni…
RIP Francesco.

*I’m not sure melodrama is the right word considering he actually died.

Condolences on your loss pal…. Was the dearly departed Francie from Dungiven initially or a genuine Francesco from Caravaggio. What I’m wondering really did he actually see you in full flow (in your younger days) when you dominated Derry football……

Thanks…no alterations and no mishaps. The grave was a little short for the 6’ 7" coffin…audibly rasped its way to rest. A centimeter less would have had us in bother

Some of Corkie’s political friends are slipping away according to himself. I love the coded messages their lifelong buddies write in the RIP condolences. A gent well known to me and indeed in Republican circles slipped away a few years ago and one line went

Fare thee well Padraig a chara. We shared a house in college 50 years ago….

They did - a Nissan hut in the Kesh.

Israeli chap who frustrated the auto company for years, I had not checked his website in years, turns out it’s pretty apt for this thread

Am here waiting outside a pub in Howth for the mad uncles best pal to be laid out in tbd pub. Priest saying a few words at 6 and then the party starts. Banjos, bodhrans and bawling course du jour id say.

Some troop of characters. Should be a good send off. And straight from pub into the clay in the morning.
